About the Game

PENOUT: The Ultimate Desktop Battle Royale!

Flick, strike, and dominate in PENOUT, the fast paced multiplayer showdown where schoolyard nostalgia meets high stakes strategy! Challenge up to 10 players in a chaotic race to be the last pen standing. Whether you’re settling scores on the same couch via Local Play or clashing online through Steam Remote Play.

Master Your Instrument

Choose from 3 unique pen types, each with distinct stats to fit your playstyle. Whether you prefer a heavy metal fountain pen for maximum impact, a lightweight fine liner for precision snipes, or a balanced classic pen, your choice will determine how you slide, collide, and survive on the table.

Conquer Dynamic Arenas

Battle across diverse tabletop environments that change the way you play:

  • The Regular Desk: The classic wooden surface where skill and physics reign supreme.

  • The Ice Table: A slippery, high-speed arena where friction is non existent and one wrong move sends you flying into the abyss.

  • The Donut Hole: A treacherous round table with a massive gap in the center staying on the wood is just as hard as knocking out your rivals!

Unleash Tactical Power-ups!

Don't just rely on your flick, sabotage your opponents and manipulate the board with game changing abilities:

  • Freeze: Lock a rival's pen in its tracks, making them easier to slide out of the table.

  • Power ×2: Double your momentum for a devastating hit that can clear the table in one shot.

  • Size Shifter: Go Big to become an immovable tank, or shrink to Small to dodge incoming attacks and squeeze through tight gaps.

  • Teleport: Instantly move your pen to a safer position or a better vantage point.

  • Play Twice: Take an extra turn to chain your attacks and finish off the competition!
